Are Paul Pogba & Granit Xhaka purely tournament players that aren't consistent enough in the Premier League? How many players are successful after being signed based on international tournament performances?In this episode of the Straight Shootin' View, SSLJA discusses the fact that Paul Pogba & Granit Xhaka play better for France and Switzerland, than they do at Manchester United & Arsenal respectively.SSLJA also discusses the fact both players struggle for consistency in the Premier League but for a tournament they can both step up for their countries and looks at why this may be the case, is it motivation, is it better players around them at international level or something else?SSLJA also gives a warning (using some classic examples) of players who have been purchased based on tournament performances, only to be poor performers at club level.http://Twitter.com/pitchtalk @pitchtalkhttps://www.instagram.com/pitchtalk/http://Youtube.com/pitchtalk Find & Subscribe to our audio - Add us to your favourite podcast app via RSS Feed - https://pitchtalk.podomatic.com/rss2.xmlPodomatic - https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/pitchtalkPodbean - https://pitchtalk.podbean.com/Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pitch-talk-podcast/id445883703Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3BpdGNodGFsay9mZWVkLnhtbASpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0y9lR6WJaNLyAr7diAHhqh#upsellAmazon Music - https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/ee0280cc-f15b-49bb-a3e2-b688e0dd49d5/Pitch-Talk-Podcast?Vurbl - https://vurbl.com/station/pitch-talk-podcast/Mixcloud Archive (Incl.
